Infrared facility at the Canadian light source

The Canadian Light Source (CLS) is constructing two beamlines for Infrared Spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation (IRSR). One will supply mid-Infrared (2–25 μ) light to a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer and microscope for biological applications. The second will have a high resolution FTIR spectrometer for gas-phase and surface spectroscopy in the far-Infrared (beyond 25 μ). The Infrared beamlines will use dipole bending magnet radiation from a special bend magnet port design which provides a 50 mrad square acceptance. Issues with the first mirror and photon mask design, as well as the beamline layout and features are discussed.

会聚厄米-双曲余弦高斯光束的光强分布和焦移

 基于厄米-双曲余弦高斯光束通过无光阑限制薄透镜聚焦的解析传输公式，研究了厄米-双曲余弦高斯光束聚焦区域的光强分布，并对光束的焦移进行了分析，讨论了偏心参数对光强主极大位置的影响。结果表明：TEM₁₁模厄米-双曲余弦高斯光束的相对焦移（绝对值）随偏心参数和菲涅尔数的减小而增大，菲涅尔数较大时相对焦移趋于零。TEM₂₂模光束在偏心参数小于0.54时，轴外与轴上光强极大值的比值大于1，此时光强主极大在轴外，偏心参数大于0.54时则相反；在偏心参数等于0.54时比值为1，此时光束有两个主极大，偏心参数愈大光强愈集中于轴上。使用LW法和GH法得到的TEM₂₂模光束的相对焦移（绝对值）随偏心参数和菲涅尔数的变化规律与TEM₁₁模光束一致，但相同参数下使用这两种方法得出的具体结果不同。     

Ground state parameters of BiH3 from infrared and millimeter-wave spectra: ground state and equilibrium structures

Unstable, short-lived BiH₃ has been synthesized and investigated by rotational spectroscopy in the range 158 (J=1-0) to 1280 GHz (J=8-7). Quadrupole and spin-rotation hyperfine structures (eQq=584.676(96) MHz), and the A₁A₂ splitting of the K=3 ground state level, have been resolved. By merging the pure rotational data with 1764 ground state combination differences obtained from the analysis of high resolution Fourier transform infrared spectra of the ν₁-ν₄ bands [J. Mol. Spectrosc. (2004) (in press)] spanning J and K values up to 16 and 14, respectively, with 0?ΔK?9, the ground state rotational and centrifugal distortion constants up to octic and sextic terms for reductions A and B, respectively, have been determined. Of the reductions of the ground state rovibrational Hamiltonian, reduction B including ε rather than h₃ as off-diagonal element is clearly favored. An experimental r₀ structure of the very-near spherical oblate symmetric top BiH₃, r(BiH)=178.82 pm and α(HBiH)=90.320°, has been deduced from the rotational constants B₀=2.64160172(18) and C₀=2.6010403(31) cm⁻¹. The derived experimental r_e structure, r_e(BiH)=177.834(50) pm and α_e(HBiH)=90.321(10)°, was determined. This is in excellent agreement with the most recent ab initio structure, r_e(BiH)=177.84 pm, and α_e(HBiH)=90.12°.     

A bio-mechanical model for coupling cell contractility with focal adhesion formation

Focal adhesions (FAs) are large, multi-protein complexes that provide a mechanical link between the cytoskeletal contractile machinery and the extracellular matrix. They exhibit mechanosensitive properties; they self-assemble upon application of pulling forces and dissociate when these forces are decreased. We rationalize this mechano-sensitivity from thermodynamic considerations and develop a continuum framework in which the cytoskeletal contractile forces generated by stress fibers drive the assembly of the FA multi-protein complexes. The FA model has three essential features: (i) the low and high affinity integrins co-exist in thermodynamic equilibrium, (ii) the low affinity integrins within the plasma membrane are mobile, and (iii) the contractile forces generated by the stress fibers are in mechanical equilibrium and change the free energies of the integrins. A general two-dimensional framework is presented and the essential features of the model illustrated using one-dimensional examples. Consistent with observations, the coupled stress fiber and FA model predict that (a) the FAs concentrate around the periphery of the cell; (b) the fraction of the cell covered by FAs increases with decreasing cell size while the total FA intensity increases with increasing cell size; and (c) the FA intensity decreases substantially when cell contractility is curtailed.     

InAs/GaAs quantum dot infrared photodetectors with different growth temperatures

InAs/GaAs quantum dot infrared photodetectors were fabricated with quantum dots grown at three different temperatures. Large detection wavelength shift (5–14.5 μm) was demonstrated by changing 40 degrees of the epitaxy temperature. The smaller quantum dots grown at lower temperature generate 14.5 μm responses. The detectivity of the normal incident 15 μm QDIP at 77 K is 3 × 10⁸ cm Hz^1/2/W. A three-color detector was also demonstrated with quantum dots grown at medium temperature. The three-color detection comes from two groups of different sizes of dots within one QD layer. This new type of multicolor detector shows unique temperature tuning behavior that was never reported before.     

坦克红外特征控制技术评述

坦克红外特征控制对于提高坦克的战场生存能力具有重要意义。控制的主要方法有遮障、表面处理、外形技术、主动冷却、总体设计等。坦克红外特征的控制必须与其他波段，特别是射频波段的特性控制兼容。遮障和低发射率涂料是现役坦克红外特征控制的主要措施。而对未来的主战坦克，设计应是减少其系统特性的重要途径。
